The classifications I would use to organize all living things would be the five kingdoms. If I was to be more specific, I would start classifying by shape, color, etc..
If I had to organize living things, I would organize them by the five kingdoms. After I did that, I think I would try to go a little deeper because the five kingdoms are very broad, for example, I would start to go into color, texture, shape, etc...
The 5 kingdoms we have now are good. Only I think the animal kingdom should be more specific.
There are plants and animals. I wouldn't use anything else.
Seeing as I'm not a scientist, I think I must stick with the established rules. They were created by people who know what they are talking about.
I would classify all living things by the 5 kingdoms. But without them, I would classify them by color, feel or shape.
